Someone in an earlier thread alluded to a flaw in MLP compression. Since it is lossless, I do not understand how it can be flawed compared to PCM, since it decodes to the exact same data as the original PCM stream. Perhaps it does not always compress well, but it should not affect the stream sonically, unless it's not truly lossless.
